There's an update on Typica's development branch that causes the batch details window to not barf if you've somehow managed to create a batch record without a green coffee item. The result is less detailed, ugly, and half of the tabs don't work, but the most important features are there and there's enough information that a confused person can take a screen shot and I can tell them what went wrong. Thanks to @agudbrandson and @jflanders for providing the bug report and enough info to solve it.

@Taweret Maybe "Call to Arms" but I'm also tempted to say "Our Man Bashir"

@sean Separate test instance that you can just nuke and reload?

On my last grocery run I picked up some of those frozen breaded mozzarella sticks on a whim. The box says a serving is 1 stick and who do they think they're kidding? Nobody is eating just 1 stick.

@agudbrandson I can walk you through any of those if you want.

@agudbrandson Option 1: Enter some green coffee purchases and fix the records to some extent by hand. Option 2: Set the existing batch data as target profiles and just understand that early batches (except the one through manual entry) are problematic elsewhere. Option 3: Like option 2 if you want to save the data that's already in there but then nuke the database and start over, remembering to enter valid data this time around.

@agudbrandson Okay, not sure why you weren't getting the error logs. It looks like you somehow managed to get Typica to allow you to save batches to the database without having any green coffee (and 0% mass loss). The measurement data is there and fine and would have been loadable had any of the batches been saved as targets for the roasted coffee items. It's just that the batch details window barfs on nonsense.

If the externals change, I can step in a couple years later and maybe there will be more interesting work to do then.

Officially turned that down. The other big factor in the decision is that the upcoming deliverable schedule is all redoing (for dubious reasons) stuff that we finished years ago. I'd rather work on new stuff.

Received a "thank you for your order" email that was written IN ALL CAPS.

@Taweret The House of Quark for Suddden Girlfriend Appearance.

On the other hand, I'm very much that kid who when asked, "would you like to teach the class?" has a history of saying yes and then knocking it out of the park. (I started in 4th grade)

I'm leaning toward either no or not yet, but I'm standing by for more information, clarifications, or a convincing argument for why this is a good idea. There are some things I could do better, but most of my reasons for leaving wouldn't be fixed just by my taking over because the problems originate external to that group.

@gnomon Octopus mugs. I'll post a picture if they come in. They're ordered but the company selling those doesn't believe in packaging materials for fragile products (but they're really good about issuing credits against the bill for stuff that arrives damaged).

@Taweret Aren't those the fake bricks that are nothing but worthless gold?

@cwebber I was surprised, too, but in my case it's the 7 day work week.

@agudbrandson Got it. I'll take a look at that after the shop closes and see if I can figure anything out from that.

@agudbrandson Right, you shouldn't see anything until it finishes and the prompt returns (may take a while if the database is large). Once that's done, the file should exist in your home directory. You can ls to see it or see it in the Finder.
